Manipulate the robot using the teach pendant

Recognize and describe major robot components

Troubleshoot Class 1, 2 and 3 faults

Master the robot

Manipulate I/O for the robot

Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises.

The course consists of lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned.

In addition to lab exercises, a pretest and posttest are used to measure mastery of objectives.

Audience: This course is designed for maintenance personnel who are responsible for installing and maintaining the robot and controller.

Prerequisites: None.

Recommended: Electrical/Electronic background, with knowledge of robots and robot controllers or machine tools and controllers.

NOTE: The Robot Operations course, or the Application Operation and Programming course are not prerequisites for this course, however, the operational aspects covered in this electrical and electronic maintenance course are minimal. Thus, a review of the functions that the student will be required to perform when back in the work place, in light of the tasks and procedures included in the Operations course, is recommended, to see if a particular student should also take the Operations course. For example, if the student will be required to set up and program, we recommend the Application Operation and Programming course.
